ABSTRACT:
A head suspension including a load beam and flexure having a damping member for damping vibrations of the head suspension at a resonance mode frequency thereof. The load beam includes a mounting region at a proximal end, a rigid region adjacent to a distal end, and a spring region between the mounting region and the rigid region. The flexure is at the distal end of the load beam and is for supporting a head slider. The damping member extends from the head suspension and has a free end such that it can frictionally contact the head suspension to damp resonance mode frequency vibrations thereof.
